Default looking for a welder to weld my fuel tank

any welders out there that have welded a fuel tank before? the fuel tank is already out of the car, it just has 2 small ruptures, about 1 cm long and 1/2 cm long.

let me know if anyone can help me out. shouldn't be too difficult if you've done it before

thanks

Any machine shop should be able to do it. I would buy a new fuel tank though, but that's me.

only way someone will weld it is if you fill it up and drain it with water like 3 times in front of them.. otherwise you're welding a bomb.

I get the whole saving money aspect, but I ordered a brand new tank for a DA for less than $100. Any decent welder is gonna want like half of that just for their time.
